Russian Freight Train Derailed Due To ‘Outside Interference’
A freight train derailment and a diesel fuel tank fire in Russia’s Volgograd region have been attributed to “outside interference,” officials reported on Tuesday.
Russian Railways stated on its website that unauthorised individuals tampered with railway operations at Kotluban station, causing the train cars to derail. “As a result of interference by unauthorised persons into the operation of railway transport, cars of a freight train derailed at the Kotluban station,” it said.
